OLYMPIA, Wash. – With five players in double figures at Evergreen (Wash.) and a little help around the region, the Southern Oregon men's basketball team continued its climb up the Cascade Conference standings Saturday.

Gabe Reichle posted a game-high 17 points as the Raiders pocketed a 96-73 win at the Costantino Recreation Center, launching a 22-0 run midway through the second half. Their ninth victory in 11 games made them 14-7 overall and 9-6 in the CCC.

Thanks to Eastern Oregon's win at Corban on Friday, and Bushnell's upset of EOU on Saturday, the Raiders will enter Tuesday's 7:30 p.m. matchup with No. 24 Oregon Tech tied for fourth place in the loss column. The second-place Owls were also upset victims Saturday, falling 80-78 at 10^th-place Northwest (Wash.).

SOU's 53% shooting against Evergreen was its most efficient mark in 18 games. Reichle shot 7-of-14; Joe Juhala went 5-of-8 with 16 points; Bryce Dyer was 7-of-8 with 14 and seven boards; Mason Whittaker was 4-of-6 with 12 points and five boards; and Liam Clark scored 12 off the bench  on 4-of-7 accuracy, dropping in 10 during the second half.

Juhala, Reichle and Whittaker also hit three 3-pointers apiece. Emmett Fenz made two more.

The Geoducks (1-17, 1-14) chipped away at a 51-35 halftime deficit behind Jourdan Joseph's 16 points. They got it down to 65-58 with 11 minutes left before the Raiders poured in 22 unanswered over a five-minute stretch, during which they drilled eight consecutive field-goal attempts.

Elijah Jackson pitched in seven assists and three steals. The Raiders totaled 19 assists compared to just nine turnovers.

They've won 26 consecutive matchups with Evergreen, the last six of those by 20-plus points.
